PyroGuard 40™

Bushfire Resistant Glass

Product description

Australian glass manufacturer, Viridian, has designed a bushfire resistant glass specifically for use in bushfire prone areas. Used in conjunction with specially tested bushfire resistant window systems, Viridian PyroGuard 40™ can help protect human lives and property by providing a barrier against radiant heat and ember attack.

The special ultra-thin transparent coating within Viridian PyroGuard 40 minimises the transfer of radiant heat from the bushfire front. Even when subjected to radiation levels of 40kW/m2, less than 3% of the radiant heat is transferred through a window glazed with PyroGuard 40.

As provided for in AS3959 ‘Building in Bushfire Prone Areas’, installation of window systems using Viridian PyroGuard 40, which have been successfully tested to the rigorous requirements of AS 1530.8.1, removes the need for unsightly bushfire resistant shutters or specific metal screens in buildings with a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of up to and including BAL 40.

Manufactured as an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU), the new bushfire resistant Viridian PyroGuard 40 offers a range of valuable benefits, such as reduced noise and increased thermal performance for improved comfort and savings on heating and cooling costs all year round.
